Prong is an American heavy metal band formed in 1986. The band was originally composed of founder Tommy Victor (vocals, guitar), along with Mike Kirkland (bass) and ex-Swans drummer Ted Parsons.[1] Their first two studio releases, the EP Primitive Origins (1987) and follow-up Force Fed issued a year later, were released independently and directed more towards the hardcore punk.[2] The trio signed with Epic Records, and their first major label release, 1990's Beg to Differ, was a minor success, and received regular exposure on MTV's Headbangers Ball.[1] Former Flotsam and Jetsam bassist Troy Gregory replaced Kirkland for 1991's Prove You Wrong. Gregory was soon replaced by ex-Killing Joke bassist Paul Raven, plus keyboardist John Bechdel (ex-Murder Inc.) for 1994's Cleansing. The album marked a change of direction towards a more industrial sound, being regarded as Prong's "most varied record."[3] Prong would disband following 1996's "less inspired"[1] Rude Awakening.

Prong was reformed in early 2002, after a five-year hiatus with a new lineup, tour, and subsequent signed to the Spanish Locomotive Music label to release their first live album, "not-so-creatively titled"[4] 100% Live; followed by 2003's Scorpio Rising. In 2007, the band signed to Al Jourgensen's 13th Planet label,[5] releasing Power of the Damager. In 2012, the band released Carved In Stone.
